What Does 2 Samuel 22:49 Mean?
David gathers up the whole rescue: God 'bringeth me forth' from his enemies, 'lifted me up on high' above those who rose against him, and 'delivered me from the violent man.' Brought out, lifted up, set free, the full sweep of salvation.
The movement is upward; God raises David above all that once towered over him. To be lifted 'on high' from the reach of the violent is the believer's hope as well. The God who brought David out of every danger still raises His own above the powers that would pull them down.
